Joseph Graves was released from the Escambia County jail on a $290,000 bond Tuesday night. Because he was released, he won't appear in court Wednesday as previously scheduled. There was no word on when the next court date would be scheduled.

Graves was arrested Tuesday, a day after he resigned from his position at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement lab in Pensacola. He is charged with grand theft of a controlled substance, 12 counts of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and nine counts of trafficking in illegal drugs.
